Frequently asked questions
3. Extraordinary
Again, a lot of fun to say, and it sounds serious, doesn't it?
4. Glorious
We don't use this word often enough, but think about sunsets... they can be glorious, right? I also love how this word was used in Big Hero Six.
5. Smashing
I'm not sure why, but "smashing" has a British feel to it, doesn't it?
6. Dynamite
Use this word to describe anything that's more dynamic and has more pop than "awesome" can happen.
7. Majestic
Lions and eagles and mountains are majestic. I mean, they can be awesome, but isn't majestic more fitting?

Think first dates, Harry Potter, and a night of star-gazing. And fireflies.
9. Wonderful
I don't love this word, but it's another alternative to "awesome," and it works.
